Worst Christmas Gift Ever....

What has been the worst Christmas gift you ever received?

Worst gift for me:  a tummy-tightening elastic band my boxing coach gave me a few years ago.  I ended up passing it on as a gag gift to someone else.... 

Not a Christmas gift, but a wedding gift. A distant, distant, distant, friend-of-a-friend of the family whom I've never met before or since mailed me a ghastly psychodelic polyester "teddie", and not my size. I hadn't even sent her an invitation. I've still no idea what to make of that, nor do I recall what I did with it. 

But I know my manners, so yes, I graciously mailed her a handwritten Thank You note. After all, it really was the thought that counted.

My sweet aunt (in her 80's) has given thoroughly British DH a bottle of "Obsession for Men"!

Funniest gifts this year was that DD and DS each gave me flower seeds (same brand from Amazon), unbeknownst to to each other.  DD howled with laughter for about 15 minutes.

Why is that so awful?   

Have you smelled it?     Also, DH is the least likely male to take to wearing scent of any kind.

Randy tomcat is how I think of it.

For Xmas, I think this year's worst presents take the cake:

1. A magnum bottle of 'Fastini gold', Liverpool's finest perry, which has been referred to as a 'counterfeit brand' or Lambrini in Parliament.

2. Ghetto Uno, a generic pack of cards that has so many typos it just became sad.

3. An old lady clock, 24% lead crystal, tacky as they come, and with the solitary purpose of bashing somebody's head in, possibly your own if you have to put it on display. (We've already decided to keep it in the closet and tell our future kids that it's a family heirloom, so they get stuck with it when we're dead.)

Nope, I've never smelled it. Does she know your DH doesn't wear scent?

A used soap dish, broken candle, and a duck hairbrush.   :\\\'(

Now that's the kind of stuff I think of when someone uses the phrase "worst gift ever"!! 

Heh, this year wasn't so bad...I received the world's ugliest umbrella and some underwear two sizes too big!

haha I think I received the world's ugliest umbrella this Christmas.

Haha, I got a scarf and hat with a muckle big flower on it (it looks like something a flapper would wear) off my MIL, DH says I shouldn't wear it unless I plan to do the Charleston.  BTW, my ex used to wear Obsession for men, I so hate it now!  DH got a bottle of Stetson aftershave from my mom.... lol
